Ummmmm... no.
I've never heard them mention any system outside of the PS3 and Xbox 360. I don't think the other consoles would have the computational power to run the physics engines. If it does appear on other systems, like we show a DS logo there, I'm betting it would be a different game that has severly gimped versions of the engines. (Or a totally different game style with the same basic story / universe.) |

That doesn't at all surprise me, it was like at least a year before either of the KoToR games appeared on PC after they had the console launch. Even though that was a different company, Star Wars games like this are almost always hitting console systems first these days.

Well yeah, but back in the day the PC market was it for gaming. It wasn't until the PS1 (1995, just over 10 years ago) really hit it big that consoles started becoming the more mainstream gaming 'rig', and only really since the Xbox and PS2 (~2000) has it really been powerful enough to rival what could be done with PCs.
But yeah, I still have my pewter collector's figure for pre-ordering Dark Forces. Though it likely doesn't have much market value, it is one of my more 'prized possessions'. ( I'd love to get a Hellgate:London templar, but I don't have the monies.  )
We can't blame them. I can't find a figure, but there are way way more sales for consoles than there are for PC systems. If you count something like the Nintendo Dual Screen, the 'installed base' vastly outnumbers the PC gaming base. |

Maybe it will be a stripped down version but why would it? There have never really been any games that pushed the PS2 nor the original XBox... whose to say it wouldn't work or that it isn't possible...
even stripped down, with the right control system with the Wii, its version could end up being better then the "next gen" consoles version

No offense, but I don't see anything here that indicates anything other than speculation.
A blank page, total speculation.

Have ya looked at the engines/tech they are using?
It looks like the direct links are gone, go to the official site, then do "Game Info" -> "Tech info".
I just don't see how the Wii (nor the Playstation 2 / PSP) can pull off that kind of on the fly calculations. Remember, the Wii really isn't more powerful than the Game Cube.
Again, I'm betting that those versions will be very different from the PS3 / Xbox 360 versions because I just don't see how they could cut their DMM and Euphoria engines down to run on those in the same way with the same level of detail. Sure, I'm sure they could cut it down to the standard level of ragdoll physics and such, but that just isn't the same.

Possibly. A Wii version certainly would be fun. However, the big deal about the game revolves around the engines they developed and the presentation that allows. Without those technologies the game just wouldn't be any better than current (ragdoll physics) tech that fakes what they are actually doing with the new engines.
